 The London Dramatic Review, having advertised for rhyme for ''silver," has elicited the following letter op rhymeless words from that acknowledged master of verbal contortion, Mir. W. $. Gilbert. The reader will be surprised to find how many words in the language are rhyneless:
 Sir: u advertise for a rhyme to silver" Allow me to submit "chilver" to your consideration l confess that l am not quite clear as to what chi!ver may be, bat l have seen the word in advertise ments of sales of farm stock, and l have an idea that it describes a species of sheep. Perhaps some of your readers who are better far mers than 1 can give you more definite information on the sub iect. 1 am bound to admit that 1 cannot find the word in any die tionary.
 It has long been supposed that there is no rhyme to month" There is a rhyme to it-not "onety- onth," or any lisping version of such words as "once," "dunce," etc, but legitimate word in every day use. Perhaps your readers would like to guess what it is.
 While I am on the subject of rhymes l should like to suggest that any inventor who is in need of a name for hls invention whold confer a boon on all rhymsters, and at the same time insure him self many gratutous advertise ments, if he were to select a word that rhymes to one of the many words ln common use that have very few rhymes or none at all. Any invention called, for instance ''Lorrange" would surely be re- ferred to whenever g poet wished to rhyme to "orange." \ few more words rhyme to Hove" are greatly wanted. All who dabbled in am atory verse must have felt this necessity Revenge" and "ayenge" have no rhyme but "Penge" and "Stonehenge"; "coif" has no rhyme at all. "Starye" has no rhyme, ex- cept o irony) "carve"l ''Scarf' has no rhyme, though I fully ex- pect to be told that ''laughn and "half'' and ''calf' are admissible which they certailny are not. Scalp" has no rhyme but Alp" False" has no rhyme-"valse' is is near it, but the French accent disqualiies it. "W altz" is also near 1t, but the "t'' spells it. Babe" has no rhyme but "astrolaben- certain proper naiues excepted ''Gamboge" has no rhyme but 'rouge." Tube" would be rhyme less, save for ''cube" and ''jujube" 'Fugue" has no rhyme at all Gulf rhyD'e with no English word; we have to fall back on Cardinal Pandqlph" and "Ulf," the minstrel. "Azimuth"has nly"doSh." "Culm' and"cusp" haveno English rhymes.
 Your obedient servant.

 Paper bottles were patented in America in 1883. Their sale was not extensive at first, but now that European patents have been se- cured, covering nearly all fields of probable competition, the con- trollers of the patents, we are in- formed, intend to manufacture the bottles in large quantities. In the item of freight alone they will eff feet a saving of one-third less weight than glass or stoneware, and are, on the whole, less liable to breakage Paper being also all excellent non conductor, fluids stored in the airtight paper bot ties will withstand a more intense degree of heat or cold than they could endure without injury in bottles of any other material.
 The welding of copper is no longer one of the lost arts. 1t has been reserved for an humble me- chanic, James Burns, blacksmith in the Allegheny Railroad shops at Verona, Pa, to discover the art which has so long been sought by modern sclentists. Mir. Burns welds copper with entire success by the use of some cheap and sim pie chemical compound, the ingre- dients of which are yet kept secret. His discovery will create revolu- tion in the methods of working copper.-Journal of Commerce.

Dancing vs. Kissing


 have seen thousands of people gathered at Rocky Point day after day in summer, with dancing going on all day long, and never word or an act that I should be unwill- ing to have a young person see, writes Col. Higginson in Harper's Bazar, and I have seen at country church gatherings, where dancing would havo been thought a sin, romping and rudeness such as no young girl ought to take part in. In view of this there Is something very curious in the way in which revivalists like the Rev. Sam Jones lavish their indignation on the lesser evil and ignore the greater. II have been hunting for a dane ing Christian for many years" said Mir. Jones in late address, ''and I have never found one, for 1 used to run with that sort of cattle before I was converted. l don't want any man to cut figure on ballroom floor with his arm, around my wife or daughter, and I don't believe you do. Purity purity is what we want" But if the contact of the arm is objection able in the dance, where there is no kissing, does that contact be come purer when it is the the pre- Jude to scuffle and a smack :? Are young girls lips less sacred than her gloved hand or her waist? I confess to a surprise sometimes at the composure with which some mothers can sit in a ballroom and see their daugters revolving in the arms of men whom they know to be course, if not vile; but the con tact is, after all, comparatively slight and temporary, whereas the thought of having received q kiss from such a person would be to truly refined woman an ignominy which tho waters of the Atlantic Ocean could not easily wash away.
 To those who believe it possible or desirable for very young people to live without social intercourse, or to live wholly by religious and intellectual companionship, l have nothing to say, except to eX- press disagreement with their be lief. If all that our youths and maidens can reasonably demand is prayer meeting or course in Sanscrit, be it so. But if they are to have social amusements to- gether we must consider which are the most innocent; and if the choice lies practically, in our coun- try towns, between kissing and dancing can any person seriously doubt winch is best?

The szaladies of Gagged Birds.

The melancholy part 6f the study of caged birds is the abun- dance of diseases to which they are liable. Especially during the win ter and the early spring the pa thetic little captives are apt to suffer and die in 8 way which makes the very fact of their cap hvity a reproach. After exan7n- ing the grisly catalogue of their complaints, we have come to the conclusion that the excessive dulI- ness of their life in cages drives them to the only indulgence which IS possible to them, that of over eating themselves. The excited bird which falls from its perch, in the middle of burst of song, smitten with appoplexy; the hot and lumpy bird which is victim to hepatitis; the corpulent bird whose figure no dandelion leaves or epson salts will reduce; the epileptic bird that drags on exis- tence by sipping tincture of lobelia and drops of castor oil, all these melancholy invalids would have escaped their sad condition if they could have resisted the tempting hempseed and milksop. But how are they to drag life through their long menotonous days? In the utter insipidity af aviary exlstance the open and inexhaustable box Of food decoys them like vice, and they succumb to temptation, as Mme. Bovary did, from sheer un- mitigated ennui. Sometimes, in the later stages of decline, all re- ticence is thrown aside, and the unfortunate songster sits all day long at the feeding trough, she'll ing and throwing aside the food that 1t cannot possibly swallow, and yet must be handling. In these sad cases a live spider is sometimes found beneficial, as for hysterlcal human patients the family doctor may recommend 8 pantomime or fancy ball. We cannot but think that more study might with advantage be given to the question of the food of caged birds, since this seems ta be the difficulty upon which their man. agement always strikes. It is cu-- rious that birdfanciers persist in feeding their charges with hemp seed, probably because the irres- ponsible little wretches gobble 1t up with so much greediness. But this is no more a reason fer giving it to them than the fact that chil- dren like macaroons would be req son for feeding them daily upon thls indigestirle' dainty. Birds re
 quire at least as much care as children in selecting for them, not what they prefer. but what is best. The Saturday Review.

 How long would you be willing to wait for mel" she asked, in tones so low he could scarcely catch the words.
 And then she went on:
 "You know, George" she said, 'that father has recently invested in a Western silver mine, and he is going there at once, and I can not leave mother alone. So, ask you, again, George, how long would you be willing to wait for mel"
 "Wait for you, my darling," re- peated George, with deep emotion, for his was no feeting love, dear reader; T will wait for you until we learn how the silver mine pans out" ."-Puck.
